This job is best left for a qualified pool tech who knows the codes in your state. One wrong part of the installation could get you seriously hurt.
There are many gas pool heaters. Most are efficient and cost less to run than electric heating.
Heat pump pool heaters use electricity to capture heat. As the pool pump circulates the water, it is drawn from the pool and through a filter and into the heat pump heater. The heater itself has a fan that pulls in outside air and pushes it over the evaporator coil. At this point liquid refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air converting it into a gas. The gas is then passed through the compressor where it increases the heat. This very hot gas is then sent through the condenser where the hot gas is transferred to the cool pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water is then returned to the pool. A pool heater on the other hand uses the gas directly to heat the water by fueling the combustion chamber.

YOU cannot - you need to call a gas fitter.
read the pool heaters manual.
A Heat Pump while more expensive to buy than a gas heater has much lower operating costs. It is also much cheaper to install requiring only an electrical connection instead of a gas supply line.

I doubt the gas company will install a water heater. Too much liability.
